چکیده
Ranta and Kaitala find asynchrony in our experiment unexpected and suggest stochasticity as a possible causal mechanism using simulated two-patch metapopulations. However, their mechanism can yield either subpopulation synchrony or asynchrony. We extend their approach to a nine-patch system approximating our experiment and show that asynchrony is not only not unexpected but extremely likely in real metapopulations with low migration.

Comment on "Stability via asynchrony in Drosophila metapopulations with low migration rates".
Dey and Joshi (Reports, 21 April 2006, p. 434) studied replicate laboratory populations of Drosophila and reported that low migration led to asynchrony among subpopulations. We argue that this unexpected outcome may be due to variation in the initial size of the subpopulations and uncontrolled stochasticity in the experiments.
متن کاملStability via asynchrony in Drosophila metapopulations with low migration rates.
Very few experimental studies have examined how migration rate affects metapopulation dynamics and stability. We studied the dynamics of replicate laboratory metapopulations of Drosophila under different migration rates. Low migration stabilized metapopulation dynamics, while promoting unstable subpopulation dynamics, by inducing asynchrony among neighboring subpopulations. High migration synch...

متن کاملActivation of Radioadaptive Response via Injected Serum of Irradiated Rats with Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation
Introduction: One of the protective concepts in the interpretation of radiation damage in radiobiology is the radioadaptive response. The objective of this present report is to evaluate the induction of radioadaptive response in male rats by injection of pre-irradiated serum with low doses X-radiation intraperitoneally. Materials and Methods: 80 male adul...
